Police say they’re still looking for a suspect after a violent bank robbery in Toronto earlier this week where an employee was stabbed multiple times.
Toronto police said they were called just before 1 p.m. Monday for a hold-up in the area of Dundas Street West and Spadina Avenue.
A man entered the bank wearing a mask and hoodie, pulled out a large knife and demanded cash, police said.
He then jumped over the counter and approached a bank employee.
The employee took cash out of their wallet and gave it to the man, who then stabbed the employee multiple times, police said.
The man fled through an emergency exit at the back of the bank, officers added.
